The Brainwashed Meme

[anothersoul]

1. Reply with your characters.
2. For some reason, the community has left them in an, ah, vulnerable state. They've been brainwashed. So when a character responds to yours they find that they're very susceptable to suggestion.
3. Want to humilate that enemy of yours by making them believe that they're your servant? Go ahead. Want to manipulate that goody-goody two shoes into a crime spree? Why not! Want to keep the person safe and sound until you can find a way to snap them out of it? Definitely an option. (Though, if you want to do anything too drastic you should ask the other mun first.!)
4. Shenanigans.
5. Have fun!

[...oh dear. What did the community do this time? ... Better just get Karen somewhere safe. For now.]

You really don't look that well... Maybe we should go home for the day.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Eh? All right.

[She feels fine, but if Mami says she doesn't look well...]

[anothersoul]

[Well, something...is off. Probably. So she's going to take Karen by the arm.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen offers no complaint, and lets herself be led along. Of course, that's pretty normal for her when she isn't specifically trying to do something else.]

[anothersoul]

[She tightens her grip, just slightly. She's heard about this virus but... No. It'd be selfish. Cruel. But... They arrive at her apartment and she stands in front of the door.]

Karen-san... Why don't you stay at my apartment for a few days?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen is immediately blushing.] If that's what you'd like, I wouldn't mind. [Again, not an unusual reaction from Karen. Though Karen's starting to wonder if Mami is entirely all right, or alternatively if she knows something Karen doesn't.]

[anothersoul]

[Opening the door and dragging leading Karen inside.] Yes, well, I think it's for the best.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Still entirely cooperative.] Is something the matter?

[anothersoul]

[She's just going to hug Karen tightly.] No. Everything's fine.

[eternallybored]

[ A highly suggestible Karen? Kaguya will gladly mess with her head for shits and giggles. ] Ah, there you are. It is a shame Eirin has cut off your rabbit ears and tail to make yet another good luck charm for someone unworthy, but you must put that behind you. For now, I have a task for you.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Ears and...

[Oh. Oh, dear. Karen actually has a better grasp of who she's supposed to be than Kaguya probably expects. Or at least she will be once she recovers from being figuratively punched in the identity, which is a bit disorienting as you might imagine.] A task?

[eternallybored]

Ears and a tail-- yours was both fluffy and blue, if I remember correctly. You shall not find any scars that remain either. Eirin is simply that good, you do know. Now about this task...

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Yes, yes, she remembers. Now that they've been mentioned, she finds herself patting the spot where her tail used to be. It wasn't really necessary, of course, but it feels odd to not have anything there. Same with her ears... it's especially strange to still be able to hear clearly without them.]

Anything, princess.

[eternallybored]

[ The laugh stops, but the smile remains, perhaps turning into something a bit more wicked. Or playful. It's the same difference when concerning Kaguya. ] I need you to locate someone for me-- a distant descendant, or perhaps just a blood relative, of a certain someone. However... there have been many, many gnerations between this someone and their modern relative, and their clan line is lost to history. Even still, I know for certain that they exist, and you must be the one to find them and bring them to me.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen nods. Distant descendant or relative, many generations. So, probably nor much evidence to go on. Well, she'll have to try! Though there's one thing that confuses her.]

Why me? Am I special somehow?

[eternallybored]

Do not be so bold to think yourself as much...

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Of course. There's nothing special about her. She's just an ordinary rabbit.]

I'm sorry.

[eternallybored]

However, it is a good thing you neither have tail nor ears for this task...

[shinjaeba]

Hm... you're less impressive than I expected you'd be. [She's looking at Karen before shrugging.] Hired help these days...

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Hired help? Karen can't seem to remember how that happened, but it must be true. Maybe it's because she can't remember that she's apparently inadequate.]

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

[shinjaeba]

I don't believe you. [She gestures to the ground.]

Why don't you get on your knees and say that? Or do you want to be thrown back out on the street?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[No, no, of course she doesn't want to be thrown back on the street! Was she living on the street before? Apparently. Anyway, this seems like an entirely reasonable request in her current state, so within a few seconds she's on her knees.]

Mistress, this worthless maid begs your forgiveness.

[Because anything worth doing is worth overdoing.]

[shinjaeba]

[And she just laughs.]

Oh, you really are useless! You weren't hired to be a maid - you're far too low for that. My niece has been bothering me lately for a pet.

[She laughs again. ...And there's suddenly a dog collar on the ground.] I have to make sure you're up for the job. Put that on.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...oh. Oddly enough, Karen actually feels a little better now. No wonder she was such a disappointment--she was apparently doing the wrong thing all along. Now that she knows her real role, she'll be able to perform it properly.]

Yes, mistress.

[It's an odd feeling, having the collar around her neck. She has to be careful not to tighten it too much, but she has a feeling leaving it too loose would be unacceptable. There, that seems right. Potentially right. She'll find out, she supposes.]
